Captivate 9 - Simulation and Web Objects

The easiest way to do this is to set a variable in the parent Captivate file or if you are using a specific button, add a listener in the child Captivate file to listen for the button click and pause the audio. To use the variable, create a variable stopAudio = 0; When you hide to WO set the stopAudio = 1;

Either way you will need listeners in the child Captivate file.

Listen for the button:

window.parent.document.getElementById( 'you button name' ).addEventListener( 'click', function () { stopAudio()});

function stopAudio()

{

     //do your magic to stop the audio here

}

or listen for the value of the variable to change:

window.parent.window.cpAPIEventEmitter.addEventListener( 'CPAPI_VARIABLEVALUECHANGED', function ()

  {

   stopAudio()}, 'stopAudio'

  );

Hi Steve,

The simulation is a published package from Captivate (index.html). I am calling on it through a server.

Hey Matt,

Interesting question. Is your simulation and OAM file or is it a video?

Cheers
